 •0125 X "0075 mm. Besides the spores other bodies occur resembling those 

 of a Fusirporurni, which appear to grow from the same threads, but may pos-

On fallen pine branches. [l^P- CaroHna.] 



Sometimes on pine rails, as well as D. stillatus, but easily distinguished 

 from that by its larger size, more csespitose habit, and paler yellowish colour. 

 It often resembles very much a caespitose, waved, yellow Peziza, growing in 

 clusters, sometimes an inch or more in length. The spores are triseptate, 

 slightly curved and obtuse.
